We always come to this hotel a few times every year. Amazing hotel and amazing staff. Incredibly clean. Lots of entertainment especially for the children. Great kids club. Only 1 disappointment on this holiday and that was the entertainment on Wednesday evening, it was like a burlesque circus, obviously my hubby enjoyed it 😂 and my son sat open mouthed quite taken aback at seeing a show like this at his age haha. We left after about 15 minutes and thankfully the other evenings it was first class entertainment as usual. Friday night there was an amazing Aladdin magician, he was outstanding 👏

Fantastic hotel for a first family holiday abroad. The staff are super friendly they always made great effort to say hello when you're walking about and made lot's of compliments about our toddler. The little one even ran over to give one of the ladies a good bye hug on the last day! The entertainment is really good there's something every night. (discos,films, comedy, quiz,..) even when one of the acts cancelled last min the staff performed a backup show which was understandably chaotic and awkward but appreciated. My child (2) was a bit young for for the kids clubs which always looked busy. There is a baby club but it looked empty most days so we didn't use it. Our room was near the kids club and there's sea themed murals and plants throughout the hallways which really add to the child friendly nature of the hotel. The hotel is spotless! You can tell they've invested in lots of cleaner. I've never stayed at hotel with so many cleaners. We had a one bed superior room for mum, dad and toddler, the layout of the rooms means you can put the children to bed and chill on balcony in the evening without disturbing them, fantastic. The hotel is located near lots of bars so none of views were great but they weren't noisy once the balcony doors were shut. We requested a travel cot be setup on our arrival as it was very late arrival, however something must of been lost in translation as it was the fold out bed setup instead, I cannot explain the frustration this caused after a long day travelling. Overall the food was not impressive. The breakfast was really poor the bacon and sausages looked barely cooked we avoided them the entire time, the continental was much better. The lunch was a buffer with a good selection of pasta, pizza, salads, ... similar for the dinners. The al-a-carte restaurant was very much the buffet dressed up the pizza was in fact worse than the buffet. Because of this I would not recommend half board or all inclusive I would do a room only stay in future especially considering the number of food choices nearby. The pool, we all really enjoyed the pool it was even heated! I'm not sure why. There's no mad dashes to get sunbeds and the size of the pool was good for the number of guests at the hotel. Again it's a very child friendly place there's lots of toys and things for the kids to play with. The drinks and snacks from the bar are also reasonably priced.

“A Great Hotel, Great location & suitable for all”

A few minor niggles to start.- Given a 2nd floor room overlooking the Pool instead of the requested 4th Floor. I kept the original room when Naomi pointed out it was closer to reception and the lifts ! - Leak in the Bathroom, the sink was replaced within an hour! - I had my untouched breakfast whip… more

A few minor niggles to start.- Given a 2nd floor room overlooking the Pool instead of the requested 4th Floor. I kept the original room when Naomi pointed out it was closer to reception and the lifts ! - Leak in the Bathroom, the sink was replaced within an hour! - I had my untouched breakfast whipped away by the staff whilst I was getting a coffee, they were very apologetic and I had a laugh with the Restaurant manager about it every day. Minor niggles and all sorted out efficiently. Now the positives - The Hotel is in a perfect location, overlooking the beach and has a multitude of Bars and Restaurants within a 5 minute walk. I had a 1 Bed Superior room which was excellent, it was fitted out to a very high standard and better than a lot of apartments I have stayed in. The Evening food was great with a good varied selection of Main courses. And finally the Hotel Staff were excellent, from Housekeeping to Management all were polite and attentive. I will definitely be staying here again.
